Violence erupts at Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and Gaza.

Israeli police clashed with worshippers at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, prompting cross-border strikes in Gaza. At least nine rockets were fired from Gaza, leading to air strikes from Israel. The incident occurred during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and on the eve of the Jewish Passover, amid fears that tensions built up during a year of escalating violence could be unleashed at the Al-Aqsa mosque. The Palestinian Red Crescent said 12 Palestinians sustained wounds from rubber-tipped bullets and beatings in clashes with Israeli police. Arab countries condemned the incident, while the Palestinian leadership warned against crossing red lines at holy sites.
